Being non maori i have voted their way at resent elections. I walked away when she and her family along with willie jackson tried to deceitfuly give maori control of nz water. Never again they showed lengths they would go to bring a Zimbabwe result in nz.

You heard that she revealed that it would be a totally professional body, NOT Maoris, that would consist 3 waters executive team who will take major decisions, right? Maori participation is just at board level only and you know boards are a dysfunctional ceremonial bunch of people only if you look at the way NZ electricity companies behave.
All of the above I agree to every point said in your post.

Without any doubt. Quite the most disastrous overseas minister we ever had. Shows the strength of willie jackson . Does it not ?.
What strength? 😊

But she proved that she wasn't able to do the job.
Yep. Good riddings. The new Government now need s to undo her fiddling

So who are the indeginous peoples of NZ then?

@@stewatparkpark2933
Are you for real? Moriori were NOT in NZ before Maori, historians agree that they arrived on the Chatham Islands in around 1500, most likely from mainland NZ or possibly from the same polynesian islands as Maori originated from.
the red head blue eyed people from South America who had to intergrate when the maori were forced to leave outer islands of Tahiti to go to Ruta Rangi the original name for New Zealand its meaning is Shaking land . . There are documenrataries on you tube explaining and proving this , but it does not suit the militant maori claims to being indigenous , There is no such thing as Aotearower it is made up and false along with Kupe , the real truth has been discovered .
Thank goodness she got her notice, never to return!
We don't want the one source of truth back
radical maori also make other Maori look bad, When they do not represents all Maori
If someone can represent "all Maori" (as if there is no range of opinions among Maori) then why can't someone represent all New Zealanders, regardless of background?
“Democracy has spoken”? Would really be interested to hear her expand of her definition of democracy.
Give the 17% minority everything that they want .
Totally agree no one wants maori taking over the country in every way. Mahuta brought racism into new Zealand politics
@@pgreen8531 Really? Maori taking over in every way? Where is your head at mate, which planet are you on?
@@pgreen8531 was more wondering what her definition would be before and after NZF / ACT push Nats into a Referendum on Treaty Principles. Not backing a horse in the race, was just the first thought that came to mind as soon as she uttered those words.
Obviously it is clear that your democracy = colonization
27years and done FA
Not quite true. Sure for her first 21 years she was known as one of the laziest MP's in parliament. But she certainly made up for it with 3 waters even if it was an ill conceived idea. Generally she came across well in the interview though I am not sure I believe all she said.
You and the Government were so far out of your depth , and continued to go against what the public wanted ,NOT WHAT YOU WANTED, government's worked for the people not against THANK GOD YOU ARE GONE along with the rest, as for your other ministry you were missing.
it still sounds like maori, pasifica are the two most focussed groups they are focussing on. what about pakeha and ordinary new zealanders of the european variety
When was the last time you were in Europe? Lol need to focus on Kiwis as a country, and part of that is helping our indigenous Maori who are integral to our national identity - if they do well we all do well
@@mazzie9074 also correct
I had no special liking to her before listening to this interview but now I am absolutely impressed with her highly intelligent and profound demeanor. The mature, calm and composed manner she expresses her views on very complex issues shows her high level of wisdom which is way too above most of our petty national politicians. It was quite heartening to see how she treats all of us equally - not only Maoris, when she stressed that race based politics or parties is not the future for ALL of us New Zealanders. She clearly has demonstrated that she can easily strike the balance between her own ethnicity with that of other people who live in NZ. You are a much larger than life person Nanaia!!
She is just one of them things
But. She still calls our country Aotearoa
It is not. It is NEW ZEALAND.
She is still pushing the same thing just wording it differently, She still wants Maori take over via NZ becoming a Republic
Seymour is correct….we need a referendum on the treaty…Mahuta is naive and wrong
Yes Sir!!
goodbye and good riddance ...
I am glad she is out. Pls dont come back.
So proud of herself…..for being a failure😳😂😂😂
Huh you underestimated misinformation? You mean you underestimated that your actions had consequences, which you and Labour are now paying the price for. Hit the road jack!
Exactly 💯
Hahahaa she is a disaster for new Zealand
The centre does not go with its primary interests! The centre looks at the good and bad from both sides. It's the extremists who are looking to their own interests
No the extremists vote for who they always will…the centre are usually the undecided and will sway with what will help them…
Nothing wrong with looking out for your own interests it's when you're told to vote for others interests
One thing Nanaia Mahuta is right about is a Treaty referendum (as per David Seymour's wish). The Treaty (and Treaty principles) should be part of a wider discussion on a proper Constitution for New Zealand. At the moment we have a random and unquantified collection of legislation and other documentation which supposedly makes up a "constitution". Its embarrassing and its about time the country grew up and sorted this out. It may be a long and fraught process but it needs to start sooner rather than later.
Absolutely we need a treaty change not working for all new zealanders 😊
@@pgreen8531 you're missing the point of the post you agreeing with.
Do you know that NZ was originally part of NSW, Australia? But under that the tangata Maori were not British Subjects, and they would have been treated the same as the Australian Aborigines under New South Wales dependency/laws. To protect the tangata Maori, as promised by the King William in 1831, they had to become British Subjects. The Treaty of Waitangi asked the tangata Maori chiefs to give up their governments and in return, they would become British Subjects with the same rights as the people of England. Under English Law, which is based on, Magnan Carta, Queen Victoria could not give the tangata Maori any special rights in the Treaty of Waitangi not enjoyed by all the people of New Zealand, and none were given. By April 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi had been signed by over 500 tangata Maori chiefs .... There are numerous gaps in the founding papers for NZ under Britain. Since Maori didn't have one representative who could sign on their behalf, all the cheifs would need to sign it to contract them in as a whole. But not all of them did. So currently some tribes although having enjoyed the protection of Brittain by default all this time aren't legally contracted in to the constitutional documents. I suspect NZ will eventually head down a path of political discussion about becoming a republic and/or forming a new constitution to tidy all this up. Interestingly they recently tried to add aborigines to Australias constitution. I find it strange that the treaty gets all the airtime when it was one of five important documents that founded NZ as a British colony. There is heaps of info about the other founding documents on one new Zealand foundations website.
I don't disagree with the history, and your comments reinforce my point that NZ needs a proper constitution that can be easily read and understood. The ToW (and publicly agreed Treaty principles) would be part of this. We could, of course, become an Australian state under clause 6 of the Australian Constitution (and fold the All Blacks into the Wallabies to make a really great rugby team 😀) but there might be some resistance to this!
@@food4thort Treaty principles are not publicly agreed...they have only been agreed by minorities, misguided politicians and recently woke judiciary since 1975...that is the whole point of getting rid of the entire process of division
A leader of the government department of bitterness and self pity. Leaders like her have taken maoridom down the wrong road
A point made that we should be looking for diversity in ideas and different people, ... working together as a nation yet..... she states that we as citizens of NZ should only be looking at a single source of truth and not looking outside for truth speaks for itself
Without doubt a defeated woman of dubious background, the country is well rid of her as a representitive of the people of New Zealand..
It is time we done away with the Maori seats as their is no full blooded Maori in this country. All have other blood and we should all be one race not two.
That is just not true. Nor the correct thing to do. Nor is it for you to tell other people what they are.
And what race is that? Goodluck telling the Chinese and Indian citizens of Nz that they are your race lol
Worst labour govt I’ve ever known.
Worst government in my life, 5 decades of voting.
You missed the point, the Younger Maori might have gone out with Te Pati Maori, and that is great! Leave them in their splendid Isolation!
I left Labour as a Pakeha because of the arrogance of Maori and its BS. I could go back to Labour if it isn't highjacked by a Racial slant. My father fought for the Famous 20th Battalion, a great South Island Pakeha Battalion and he fought for one person one vote! The 20th made the 28th look like boy scouts.
You are the reason why I voted against Labour!
Te Parti Maori are not for democracy! Maori are against democracy!
Of Course Labour were deceptive with the Hua Pua Report....I still can't get a copy of this important document.....This disgusted me! There is nothing like helping the whanau out!
She is full of s. regarding China.
Hat's off to Nanaia for her honesty in this interview. However, she confirmed the reality with modern NZ that we are a multicultural country not a bi cultural one. TPM took votes from the labour party because TPM don't understand that
Still devious
Hats off to you for telling the truth as it is!!
This lady speaks so well. I'm going to listen to this again.
Where was this Mahuta for the last 6 years?
More dribble from a dangerous lady
We have lots of dangerous people looking to form a new government. In the past, the coalition talk just happened in Wellington and inside parliament . The group who are discussing the formation of a government spending more in terms of location and transportation. So much containing government spending.
There was never any honesty and openess with anything she promoted and non Maori were never considered as being part of New Zealand you devided people into sectors, and devided Kiwi.
The host has decided to remove the parasite, it was costing too much.
this woman should have her picture with a number under it. David seymour has a space for her in the 500 new cells being built in NZ
Probably the best interview I’ve seen her do too be honest.
We had a recent PM who knew how to spin and sound good. This woman is evil.
Claiming the waikato river... wtf
Mostly a good interview but a foreign minister tweeting with misinformation against the advice of MFAT, doesn't sit well with me. You need to do more to correct that "mistake" .
I can't stand any of these two so goodbye! :)
What about the husband ? All very quiet. Insider trading . What a joke sending that off shore for foreign affairs. Winstone looks a gentleman and of course he's plenty of brains and experience.
Good work by Tame drawing out the fact that Mahuta has zero self-awareness.
Catastrophe for human life how is that zero self awareness very direct and straight forward,nothing to do with Jack.Winston took him to the cleaners
@@jesswhaanga8643 I don’t understand what you mean.
@@ronshaw1955 just saying she is straight up nothing to hide how has jack drawn out everything.He tried to gaslight Winston shows his style!!
Terrific interview, Nanaia Mahuta's fascinating insights and perspective, highly educative and visionary.
I like what she said about national identity and I agree more with her view on it than any currently in parliament. I think about her position since the vote and I think about all the other Labour peeps on how they feel about leaving and Nanaia is the only one I would keep for opposition. 16 years ago I attended a DIA national staff hui and Nanaia, who was guest speaker, was the only person including the hosts who weren't falling asleep on the job ie lazy maoris, to me it seemed she was sharp and knew exactly what she was talking about, exactly like now.
Ppppppp

Maori are NOT indigenous; all came from the Pacific on wakas that are proudly identified. Please do not stick this label on an ethnic group in order to give them preferential treatment. What a load of - when you talk about unity - it is the Labour party's actions in government that have split the nation and the sense of national identity, into Maori, and "the rest" - we are described now as "Non-Maori" - wow, Until Labour politicians actually admit that they have split the country, by zero-sum gaming preferring Maori over everyone else - the health sector, language (substituting English words with Maori words that do not have the same meaning). Other viewpoints are routinely labeled as "racist" to silence people who disagree with these views. Think about why Labour lost - not because they were centrist enough, not but because of these cultural issues. Until you can reflect on that, Labour is not going to get back into government.
do you feel compelled to make this point because you're interested in historical accuracy, or coz you need to tell people youre racist?
Absolute rubbish. Māori are the first people to settle Aotearoa. That makes them indigenous by every definition.
No it doesn’t. Māori are not indigenous to Nz. Not born of Nz. They arrived by boat - just like all the other humans. We are all human. This race baiting needs to stop and we all need to do our best.
That is like saying English aren't native to England. The Angles and Saxons came from Germania.
This is a good and revealing interview. Nanaia Mahuta discussing key differences between the Maori and Labour parties. Good that she recognises how divisive identity-based politics can be. A pity she didnt anticipate how divisive Three Waters and co-governance can be.
Relations with China sounds like navivating a tightrope between trade and NZ's traditional alignment with the West. Divesting from China is easier said than done.
Mahuta's ignoring MFAT's advice to condemn Hamas following the events of 7 October was a grave mistake. Curious about the mysterious party who advised her. Was Labour afraid of losing the Muslim vote by calling out Hamas?
Its interesting to see that Mahuta has shifted her position on abortion to a pro-choice stance based on women's rights.
BS...
What is exactly?
Corrupt.
also indiginous people means = people born into a country, no separatism of different rights for certain races
TAME so nice and woke in his leftest diversity interviews.
No way hed be this nice to RH DPM Winston PETERS.
A positive is the comments of free speech are still on.
Nanaia is partly right and I like her however we do not have a constitution and I think the best way to achieve a Peoples Constitution is to go Open Source Democracy through Referendum.
The two systems which have a lot of referendums, the Swiss and California (which I have direct experience of having lived there for about a decade) particularly around Constitutional changes demonstrate in reality how flawed you proposed 'solution" is.
The Swiss federation had several cantons which didn't allow women the vote until the mid 1990s, and social change in the country is noticeably considerably slower than the countries which are its neighbours, despite social attitudes in the wider Swiss community in the general population being similar. If you're a conservative white male its great but its a view point which is over represented in the society vs their voting power within the country. Ironically the system supposed to make the place more democratic makes it less so.
In California its so relatively easy to get up Ballot Initiatives (what they call their referendum) that they routinely have half a dozen every cycle (which being the US ,is every 2 years) which by large even reasonable educated voters have neither the time nor energy to understand, especially as they are often complex/niche issues which are hard to understand.
For instance in the 1978 proposition 13, restricts property taxes to 2% a year added to a restrictions on new property valuations to only when they are sold. It means in a system which relies much more heavily on property taxes (its not only local authorities rely on this revenue, but its the primary source for public education providers). that there's been a massive wealth transfer from the older, property owning Californians, plus ,massively surpassed the real estate market and a big reason why the State has such a massive demand/ supply issue and therefore unaffordable housing problem.
Almost all major social law change in NZ history happened via Parliamentary vote, not by binding referendum. A lot of the social liberties you enjoy today would either not have happened at all or been sustainably slower had you proposed system been in effect.
@@user-uy6uc5ey5q probably partly correct so as we've seen how to fuck a system up we Kiwis should be able to see the pressure groups and NGO like NED and USAID and all connected to them and simple Legislate to remove there rights because that type of behavour is Terrorism.

Lovely interview. You see the human side of her, not so much in the news that she was in.
Jack Tame kisses backsides
Mrs mahuta i feel should look at a Maori prison officers job i feel she would fit in well
Great interview, thanks Jack and Nanaia
Good riddance, she should be in prison
Good discussion, however I do not agree with the comment regarding a potential future Republic, regarding the building of a Republic by not ignoring the foundation that was inherited. Personally I think the foundation was not ignored. In fact I feel the foundation that had been built, may have prevented the total demise of a people (based on the amount of infighting and waring that was taking place), allowing a nation to grow
IMHO
And what would happen becoming a Republic TPM and co would create mayham , I'd prefer staying with the Crown for protection and security
The disaster called Naina. The traitor of all Kiwis.
Love the even keel view of Nanaia Mahuta. Her wider view is what is essential for NZ. xx

Maori want to be heard, and you are right our people are affected by wages, housing,, a rise in consumer prices, to name a few. I admire the interview being carried out in Manaiapoto wharenui, and rohe. and not at Turangawaewae. You did us proud Nanaia, tena koe e whaia Nga mihi nui kia koe.
Maori are heard just as much as anyone else, and in some cases more. There are no Pakeha or Asian Immigrant electorates that I know of, for example. As long anyone keeps pretending that Maori have different needs than anyone else, or are entitled to additional rights, they are deceiving themselves (and sometimes other people).
There is no pretence, but as we look at all indigenous people we have all experienced the same negative attitude. Because we have been more vocal, you see this as crying, well get over It. You must be blind there are more pakeha representations., Oh, that's right, you only want to see your point of view.
@@tangimate I don't give a whit about this "indigenous" nonsense, and I'm not even talking abot Maori arriving on boats just like everyone else, but a couple hundred years ahead of everyone else.
